Review
"Roger Stern and John Byrne's run on [
Captain America] may have been only nine issues, but it's an amazingly packed nine issues. The two creators seemed energized rather than intimidated by the character's history, and that comes through in the way in which they present Cap: clear-headed, direct, and never anything less than the greatest hero he could be."
-- Graeme McMillan"Stern and Byrne would bring Cap to Great Britain [for] a reunion of sorts with war-time allies, and a bout with the supernatural. Frankly, the entirety of their run is noteworthy."
-- Bob Reyer"Batroc the Leaper, Mister Hyde, and Baron Blood were all temporarily elevated to A-list status after Stern and Byrne were finished with them ... [but] the real highlight was
Captain America #250, where Cap briefly contemplated a Presidential run. In an era where big business was running unregulated and actors were masquerading as politicians, this issue served as succinct commentary for the state of the country. It's the perfect blend of intelligence and fantasy."
-- Jason Serafino"The first five pages alone will convince you that [Roger] Stern is one of the best there is at capturing a hero's awesomeness ... Stern is a master at showing, as opposed to telling, just how good and capable a superhero is." --

This inaugural volume of Captain America's Epic Collection presents 20 issues of Captain America #247- #255 plus Captain America King size #5. July 1980 to Feb 1982.
The art is really a high point of the collection. 19 stories are excellent. The first nine by John Byrne, the bulk of end with eight from Mike Zeck and two from the late great Gene Colan. Only two from Lee Elias and Paul Kuppenburg failed to impress me. The writing it seems took longer to stabilize after Roger Stern left and we see many one shot writers on board, before J.M. DeMatteis and David Anthony Kraft come on with some longer runs.
Captain America #247 introduces the creative team of Roger Stern & John Byrne as co-plotters for the next 9 issues. Stern then would script and Byrne would pencil. Josef Rubenstein inks all but the last story. Rubenstein is one of the all time great Byrne inkers ranking up there with Terry Austin. This story is one shot and features Baron Van Strucker.
#248 and #249 is two parter featuring Machinesmith and The Dragon Man. These issues also introduce the lovely Bernie Rosenthal and a new supporting cast for Steve Rogers. I loved Bernie and was very disappointed by how much her role diminished after Stern & Byrne left.
#250 is fondly remembered by most. It is the story of the time that Captain America considering running for President. I found the story did not hold up that well and i enjoyed it the least from Stern/Byrne run.
#251 & #252 is two parter with two villains. Batroc The Leaper and Mr. Hyde. These two are some times classified as some of the lamer villains but are a lot of fun here and I thought this storyline was a delight. It also features elements from David Michline's Iron-Man run with Justin Hammer and Roxxon Oil.
